Yup..four years (more precisely 3.5 years) later, I am finally a Boston University School of Management Class of 2010 Graduate!!! And if any professionals are reading this by chance..it'll be with Summa or Magna Cum laude honors (still waiting for this semester's grades to come out).
I haven't decided if I'll be walking in the spring because honestly, I don't seem to be very excited. Happiness wouldn't be the first word that comes to my mind to describe my sentiments. I realize that right now is probably the most pivotal moment in my life. I'm oscillating between urges of inspiration and a brooding sense of anxiety. On the one hand, I can seek the comfort of beginning a business career where I can grow professionally. But in doing so, I don't expect satisfaction, inspiration, or purposeful living. On the other hand, I can no longer use college as the mental excuse that prevents me from finally doing what I want..experiencing the world, spreading compassion, feeding my being. In doing so, however, I don't expect financial security, normalcy, or parental consent.
I am now standing on the threshold of two paths and I need to decide (soon) which way to start walking: freedom and its perils or comfort and its sacrifices. I guess I can backtrack if need be..but from what I've observed, most people cannot escape the race they've chosen. So better yet, maybe I'll just create my own damn path.
Oh yea, Happy Holidays! I would expound on the topic..but I'll save my negativity (on the fallacy of these holidays' religious foundations and its disgusting commercial evolution and secular adaptations) for a more suitable day.
